Ostracize

To eliminate from society in entirety, directed by the government towards people or animals within its political jurisdiction. This definition is an expansion of scope from the original definition to include elimination. The meaning is very similar and aligns with the new meaning since the elimination of Ostriches from a Canadian Ostrich farm in 2025 by government and its agencies.

There will be an agency coming to ostracize my pet for being in contact with another pet that was sick.

ostrasize

To give someone da cold shoulder merely because his hoo-haw has unimpressive dimensions.

Occasionally a person of either gender with excessive bulk and poundage could be viewed as being too "big" by fitter folks and thus might be "ostrasized", as well, just as someone of da male persuasion who is supposedly not "big" enough sometimes is.
